Gotta spend what we're saving on social services somehow.
Pretty sure we're still spending more money than was saved.
Don't forget most of the "savings" actually cost us - like firing IRS workers who bring in like $10 for every $1 spent on salary, or canceling contracts where we already paid for things not received. .
The weird thing is, that's off-brand for Trump. He prefers to not pay for things he did receive.
Stable genius
Inasmuch as he once saw a horse.
but at least they are spending it efficiently!
With gallons-per-mile vehicles!
